Manages Namecheap domains and account through the web dashboard, providing tools for login, domain listing, DNS records management, nameserver settings, and feature toggles.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@namecheap-webui-mcp list my domains"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
MCP server for managing Namecheap through the normal web dashboard (no Namecheap API key, no IP allowlist).
This server uses fresh Playwright sessions plus saved auth state (storage-state.json) so reads/writes survive between calls without relying on fragile persistent browser profiles.

Scored across 13 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation or resource (e.g., DNS records, domain features, nameservers, auth, generic query). No two tools have overlapping purposes; even the domain get/set tools are clearly separated by aspect.
Most tools follow a consistent `namecheap_{area}_{action}` pattern in snake_case. Minor inconsistency: `namecheap_domains_list` uses plural 'domains' while other domain tools use singular 'domain'. Otherwise, verb_noun structure is maintained.
13 tools is well-scoped for a Namecheap web UI automation server. It covers authentication, navigation, DNS management, and domain settings without being bloated or insufficient.
The set covers essential domain management operations (DNS get/set, feature toggles, nameservers, list, overview). Missing a dedicated DNS record delete tool (though replace is available) and batch domain operations, but core workflows are supported.
Search, register & manage Web2/Web3 domains, edit DNS records, and build & deploy AI websites.
Check domain availability, list domains and DNS zones, change DNS records in INWX.
Manage your Webshare proxies, usage, plans and billing. Sign in with OAuth, no API key.
Manage a Hostamir account: websites, WordPress, SSL, VPS, domains, DNS, invoices and tickets.
